Keita, 22, has been linked with a move to Anfield throughout the current transfer window.

The Reds are understood to have had at least one big-money bid knocked back for the Guinea international.

RB Leipzig are determined not to sell him after he played a key role in helping them finish second behind Bayern Munich last season.

But bookies BetStars reckon Jurgen Klopp will eventually land his man.

They make Keita 6/5 to join Liverpool this summer.

“One of Liverpool’s long-term targets, Naby Keita, looks poised to sign for the Reds this summer and Jurgen Klopp’s men are priced at 6/5 to sign midfielder despite Liverpool having two bids for the player turned down,” said BetStars Director of Trading Ian Marmion.

“The 22-year-old is high up on Klopp’s priority list and is desperate to bring the Guinean across to Anfield before the end of the transfer window.

“Liverpool are willing to smash their transfer record in order to sign the midfielder who led RB Leipzig to their highest ever finish of second in the Bundesliga last season.

“Liverpool are the overwhelming favourites for Keita, with the second favourites Man City available at a much longer 20/1.”

Keita made 31 Bundesliga appearances last term, scoring eight goals and providing the same number of assists in the process.

He played 45 minutes for Leipzig in their 1-0 friendly win over Konyaspor on Tuesday.

There are still three years left to run on his contract with the German outfit.
